Moss is Flourishing


Where is the snow now?
Whiteness on the lawn is gone.
Is this our winter?


There's always the wind;
Tall weed shakes, fir trees swish;
Ripple through the leaves.

Moss covers my lawn;
Peter gives me a bird house;
Rooster crows at the sun.


Moss shines in the sun;
The stream is almost silent.
Is this fall or spring?


 The family has left;
Trash cans and black wrapped garbage
Are all that remains.


On rotting tree stump
A patch of vibrant green spreads;
Moss is flourishing.


Protruding from tree:
Soft fluffy piece of gray fir--
Watchful squirrel watches.

The car sounds like rain
As its tires slap the road.
Mist is in the woods.
